Few New England country acts have had such explosive success as the Country Mile Band (CMB). Their music has been called a "kicking" kind of country. From their foot stomping covers to their original music, they will keep you dancing for sure. It's hard to believe when you see the CMB that they have only been performing together for a short time. However, if you look at the band's experience it's no surprise. The members of the CMB are no strangers to the performing world, with over 75 years combined experience. This includes from playing in symphony orchestras to one man traveling bands. The chemistry that has evolved from these five guys coming together is amazing.
Ed Freeman is a talented musician and songwriter. He has currently written all of the CMB original songs. Freeman has played in bands now spanning over 4 decades. Whether it is his chicken pickin' lead guitar or his bluesy harmonica you can hear how Ed is such a dynamic contributor to the CMB's sound. Bass player Glenn Petrucci adds the driving pulse that gets people dancing. He has performed many styles of music - from country to rock and even a Symphony Orchestra. Glenn brings his 26 years of experience to enhance CMB's foot-stompin' sound. On the other hand, Paul Ciccio adds his classic rock background and that rocking country flavor to the CMB alongside with a multiple instrument musician, Len Amaral who has currently mastered the sweet sounds of the pedal steel guitar. Chad Burdick, lead vocalist, rounds out the talent for the CMB. He has perfected his vocal skills and stage presence to the point where he now gives any national country artist real stiff "regional" competition. Chad's passion for singing is evidenced at every live performance. Chad brings a charisma and style that is all his own to each and every show.
Country Mile is a band that is driven by their passion for country music, and their unyielding desire to create and entertain. It is that intensity that is captured every time the Country Mile Band steps on stage.
